…in no way should the friends feel there is a division of
labour, in which one group participates in the work of expansion and
consolidation, and another group in each of the other two areas. All Bahá’ís
should engage in efforts to expand and consolidate the Faith. They also
participate, to some extent, in social action and the discourses of society. In
the case of the latter two, however, where the work takes on different degrees
of formality, the nature of the tasks to be carried out can become quite
complex and sometimes delicate, requiring specialized training and preparation.
